Working from home was better today, more routine coming into the day. Got outside for a walk today and got soaked. 

Discussing the DGC being home indefinitely with DD , she can work from home and has some back up from family who are healthy and not above 70. 

I am staying positive , just doing the one day at a time . My parents are taking to the isolating quite well. They are going on twice daily walks on quiet streets . 

Taking my dad shopping on Saturday, not looking forward to that.

Good luck with the Saturday shopping. The shelves will probably be empty by then 😩

Taking one day at a time is key at the moment.

I'm glad your parents and DD are going to be able to cope. Is it safe for your dad to go the shops with you? Can he give you a list instead?

HH he is adamant he wants to go shopping until he isn't allowed to.

I don’t blame your dad, keep your distance from people and stay safe though. Hopefully the shops will have a bit more stock in.

I’m pleased you are settling to working at home.....crazy times😱

Bit happier with the WFH tonight as I gained full access to all our systems just as I was finishing tonight, so from Monday will be in action. 

DD drew up a childminding plan tonight , she needs to work as she is a health visitor and there are some people who still need visiting. The upshot is I could be having them whilst I am working from home as well for one morning a week. However we need to do these things to survive at the minute . 

I have done a click and collect order for the 28th March from mr A as I am doing my parents shopping as well , so 4 bananas between two households won't go far. 

Have told dad this is his last week doing his own shopping I will do it from next weekend. 

How much of the order I get is anyone's guess.

Hopefully stocks will be up by then and you will get some. 
It's tough times. Take care and look after yourself too. x

Yes - here's to getting back to some normality and stocked supermarket shelves. 

I love it that your dad's so positive - we can all learn from the older generation. 

Take care. X

When I worked from home with my broken leg I found that I had to really think what day it was at the weekend and did I need to log on that day - just a month back at the office and now I've got to go through it all over again 🤣

My DGS asked me if he went to sleep now , could I wake him up when the virus had gone ! Nice try but sadly no. 

Then he wanted to know if he could have a mobile phone, what for I asked he said I can ask mummy and daddy if they are ok because they might get the virus. How a child's mind works. DGD not a care in the world , she is to young to understand , to busy getting her Minnie Mouse dress and shoes on. 

Everyone have a good Saturday, whether you are battling the supermarkets or staying at home .
